my mother can rarely change my mind about anything, but the last time I visited my family she convinced me to get some sea salt while grocery shopping with her. in her effort to convince me that I needed more than morton salt in my pantry she went into detail about the health benefits of sea salt and it’s superior taste to table salt. I was only convinced to get the salt grinder when I looked closely at the clear bottle and noticed that the course salt grains looked like tiny quartz crystals. the sad truth is that I am a very shallow person, even when it comes to decisions about salt. the salt was cute, so I got it.

I have some doubts about how healthy sea salt is in comparison to table salt, but it tastes all kinds of delicious. this has resulted in me running out of the stuff only a few weeks after purchasing it (shut up, I cook a lot.) I need more of the crack salt so I turn to google, which opened my eyes to the wonderful world of HIMALAYAN PINK SEA SALT?! this stuff looks so amazing it should not be edible.

“My boyfriend constantly asks me what I’m writing down, I yell ‘IDEAS!’ and continue violently scribbling my chicken scratch down. I wake up with ink on my face and sheets from me writing on my arms in bed the night before. There are sixteen to do lists on my desk right now. I’m never bored, my brain works faster than my body can keep up with.”

“Only take business advice from people who are successful in your industry. Seek these people out and form meaningful, long term relationships with them, everything else should turn into white noise. On the other hand, try to keep your head out of your ass. Let me know how it works out for you. Seriously, email me.”
